Flat automata are a simple representation of standard finite automata. Using the flat representation, automata can be easily constructed, combined and printed. Due to the use of border functions, flat automata are more compact than standard automata in the case where intervals of characters are attached to transitions, and the standard algorithms on automata are simpler. We give the standard algorithms for tokenizer construction with automata, namely construction using regular operations, determinization, and minimization. We prove their correctness. The algorithms work with intervals of characters, but are not more complicated than their counterparts on single characters. It is easy to generate C++ code from the final deterministic automaton. All procedures have been implemented in C++ and are publicly available. The implementation has been used in applications and in teaching.","PeriodicalId":104855,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium on Games, Automata, Logics and Formal Verification","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124218603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional timeline-based planning systems excel at the integration of planning with execution by handling temporal uncertainty. In order to handle general nondeterminism as well, the concept of timeline-based games has been recently introduced. It has been proved that finding whether a winning strategy exists for such games is 2EXPTIME-complete. However, a concrete approach to synthesize controllers implementing such strategies is missing. This paper fills this gap, outlining an approach to controller synthesis for timeline-based games.","PeriodicalId":104855,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium on Games, Automata, Logics and Formal Verification","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123955521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Casting this problem in the unifying framework of safe Petri nets, our previous work has provided techniques for identifying attractors, i.e. terminal strongly connected components of the reachability space, whose attraction basins we wish to determine. Here, we provide a solution for the case of safe Petri nets. Our algorithm uses net unfoldings and provides a map of all of the system's configurations (concurrent executions) that act as cliff-edges, i.e. any maximal extension for those configurations lies in some basin that is considered fatal. The computation turns out to require only a relatively small prefix of the unfolding, just twice the depth of Esparza's complete prefix.","PeriodicalId":104855,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium on Games, Automata, Logics and Formal Verification","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116751097","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we focus on the trace-based semantics, where the infinite execution paths (traces) of the given (finite) Kripke structure are the main semantic entities. In this setting, each finite infix of a trace is interpreted as an interval, and a proposition holds over an interval if and only if it holds over each component state (homogeneity assumption). In this paper, we introduce a quantitative extension of HS over traces, called parametric HS (PHS). The novel logic allows to express parametric timing constraints on the duration (length) of the intervals. We show that checking the existence of a parameter valuation for which a Kripke structure satisfies a PHS formula (model checking), or a PHS formula admits a trace as a model under the homogeneity assumption (satisfiability) is decidable. Moreover, we identify a fragment of PHS which subsumes parametric LTL and for which model checking and satisfiability are shown to be EXPSPACE-complete.","PeriodicalId":104855,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium on Games, Automata, Logics and Formal Verification","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116426656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From a formal-language perspective, these are sets of sets of words, namely hyperlanguages. Hyperautomata are based on classical automata models that are lifted to handle hyperlanguages. Finite hyperautomata (NFH) have been suggested to express regular hyperproperties. We study the realizability problem for regular hyperlanguages: given a set of languages, can it be precisely described by an NFH? We show that the problem is complex already for singleton hyperlanguages. We then go beyond regular hyperlanguages, and study context-free hyperlanguages. We show that the natural extension to context-free hypergrammars is highly undecidable. We then suggest a refined model, namely synchronous hypergrammars, which enables describing interesting non-regular hyperproperties, while retaining many decidable properties of context-free grammars.","PeriodicalId":104855,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium on Games, Automata, Logics and Formal Verification","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126410743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
